Please branch and build python-matplotlib in epel9. If you do not wish to maintain python-matplotlib in epel9, or do not think you will be able to do this in a timely manner, the EPEL Packaging SIG would be happy to be a co-maintainer of the package.
I am not interested in doing that maintenance.
That's fine, in that case the EPEL Packagers SIG would be happy to be a co-maintainer of the package. Please add the epel-packagers-sig group through https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/python-matplotlib/addgroup and grant it commit access, or collaborator access on epel* branches. Thanks!

Will you be able to branch and build python-matplotlib in epel9? I would be happy to be a co-maintainer if you do not wish to build it on epel9 (FAS: jonathanspw).
@dcavalca it looks like epel sig was added to this package. Do you by chance have time to build it?
This package has a bunch of dependencies that need to be sorted out first (see the bugs linked as depends on here).
Checking in from my perspective: * Carl George suggesting building python-matplotlib first with tests disabled to bootstrap without the pikepdf dependency. This seems reasonable. * Looks like matplotlib 3.5.0+ requires fonttools >= 4.22.0, but we're getting 4.19.1. I've asked in the fonttools bug if this is the latest possible. * If the above is the case it seems like with should go with 3.4.3 commit 8e6d614869bd34b0b7531e5890d71ffcc13328db - scratch build here: https://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=98038905
Small update, the fonttools maintainer bumped the epel9 package up to 4.38.0 [0]. That will let us use a newer version than 3.4.3, however we're still limited to < 3.6 because that version bumped the setuptools_scm requirement to version 7 [1], and we only have version 6 in RHEL 9. Version 3.5.3 (the f36 branch) seems like it will work.

Scratch that, it seems there is test data that is specific to the version of freetype available. https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/python-matplotlib/blob/f34/f/python-matplotlib.spec#_64 Based on that, we will need to use sources from the f34 branch, version 3.4.4, in order to match RHEL 9's freetype 2.10.4. https://github.com/QuLogic/mpl-images/tree/v3.4.3-with-freetype-2.10.4
I was able to sort out successful builds of pikepdf and matplotlib in COPR. https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/carlwgeorge/matplotlib/ Here's the necessary PR for matplotlib, but it won't be able to be built in koji until pikepdf is available, which is blocked until RHEL 9.2 is released. https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/python-matplotlib/pull-request/38
